Lyrics:

Trapped beneath the surface, cradling my sorrow,
I keep seeing patterns of a new tomorrow.
Bargaining with muses, keeping ghosts at bay,
Trying to remember how I lost my way.
Gasping for salvation, sparks of sympathy,
Hoping that, come daylight, they can set me free,
Crafting odes to silence, I stand beyond the pale
When I invite my audience to watch me as I fail.

This is a script I can't rewrite,
A cage I carved with too much care,
I feign control with all my might
But I am hollow everywhere.
My structure holds, my seams are tight,
Yet something monstrous waits inside,
I kiss the dark and call it light,
Then let it in, with arms spread wide.

Seeking your attention was never worth the cost,
'Cause I keep having nightmares since our paths last crossed,
But promise you'll remember how I made you wait
While I was busy wallowing in misery and hate.
I wield these words like weapons, but they were never mine,
Now I'm so sick of fighting, (just show me a sign,)
I am not asleep here, nor am I awake,
I don't want to fade, (with every step I take.)

This is a script I can't rewrite,
A cage I carved with too much care,
I feign control with all my might
But I am hollow everywhere.
My structure holds, my seams are tight,
Yet something monstrous waits inside,
I kiss the dark and call it light,
Then let it in, with arms spread wide.

[Bridge - In Romanian]
Frântă-mi tace mintea-n palme, inima mi-o port
Prinsă-n cuie pe sub pielea albă ca de mort.
Clipa-n valuri se destramă, sângele mi-e viu,
Visele îmi sunt capacul negrului sicriu.

Gândurile-mi stau alături prinse de fotoliu,
Muzele așteaptă-n patul camerei de doliu,
Dintr-o dată năvălit-au fluturi în stomac,
Într-o baltă de cerneală lasă-mă să zac.

This is a script I can't rewrite,
A cage I carved with too much care,
I feign control with all my might
But I am hollow everywhere.
My structure holds, my seams are tight,
Yet something monstrous waits inside,
I kiss the dark and call it light,
Then let it in, with arms spread wide.

Lyrics by Mark Xenophontos 

------------------------

Rub your hands together, feel the static rise
Cast your spell on broken dreams and alibis  
With your wicked ways, you're digging deeper down
Trading everything to wear that golden crown

Don't blink twice, don't look right
Something's coming in the night
Everything you built will wash away

A chariot on fire, burning through the power lines
You'll run away scared when you read between the signs
To the Babylon tower where the broken angels fall
Where your kingdom crumbles and you lose it all

In the neon glow where devils make their deals
Pretty faces hiding how the darkness feels
Built your empire on a foundation made of lies
Now you're staring at the fire in the skies

Don't blink twice, don't look right
Something's coming in the night
Everything you built will wash away

A chariot on fire, burning through the power lines
You'll run away scared when you read between the signs
To the Babylon tower where the broken angels fall
Where your kingdom crumbles and you lose it all

Here today, gone tomorrow
Time to burn it all down
Watch your kingdom die

A chariot on fire, tearing through your house of cards
To the Babylon tower where your empire turns to ash
A chariot on fire, coming for your soul tonight
Your kingdom's burning down, you lose it all

There's still time for redemption
Choose your side before it's gone

Babylon

The Hollow-Not Really Living

Where angels dare to fall and demons learn to dance, Feathers and Flames sets fire to the line between heaven and hell. Driven by a swaggering Volbeat-inspired groove, this track blends pounding riffs, upright-bass swagger, and a sing-along chorus that drips with temptation.

The story: a forbidden love between a runaway angel and a devil-born outlaw. Neon wings, whiskey lips, and thunder-kissed promise; all tangled in a dance that neither heaven nor hell can stop.

This is outlaw rock with a gospel sneer, a shot of old-school rockabilly set ablaze with modern fire. If you like your romance loud, dangerous, and lit by lightning, this one’s for you.

Lyrics:

She rolled in like thunder, boots on the floor,
Angel in leather, never seen before.
Halo hangin’ crooked, fire in her smile,
Said, “I’ll stay a little longer, let’s sin a while.”
We hit the jukebox, the floor shook fast,
Whiskey on her lips, I knew it wouldn’t last.
Heaven called her name, but she turned away
And the devil in me begged her to stay.

White wings tangled in my blackened soul,
Two hearts burnin’ out of control.

Halo on fire, holy desire,
We dance through the ashes, we climb through the choir.
Angels and demons can’t stop this game,
We won't stop now, it's feathers and flame!

I’ve played cards with Satan, I’ve stolen from fate,
But she kissed me once and it sealed my state.
Every touch a gospel, every breath a crime,
We were outlaws ridin’ on borrowed time.
Neon wings in the smoky light,
We fought with kisses like a barroom fight.
If heaven’s gates close, I won’t even care,
I found salvation tangled in her hair.

White wings tangled in my blackened soul,
Two hearts burnin’ out of control.

Halo on fire, holy desire,
We dance through the ashes, we climb through the choir.
Angels and demons can’t stop this game,
We won't stop now, it's feathers and flame!

Now heaven’s huntin’, and hell’s on my trail,
But love like this, man, it just won’t fail.
She swore her vows on a midnight hymn,
I swore mine with a bottle and a crooked grin.
We’ll ride till the sunrise burns the night,
Two shadows kissin’ in the neon light.
Saints can judge, and devils conspire,
But we’ll go down swingin’ with a halo on fire!

Halo on fire, holy desire,
Sing it loud, set the world to the pyre!
Angels and demons can’t stop this game,
We won't stop now, it's feathers and flame!

Feathers and Flames

New revision of my original track Comatose.  Hope you enjoy!

Comatose (Revision)

Ferocious and groovy, DEMONIZED channels the chaos of SOAD, the grit of Deftones, and the groove of Killswitch Engage. Packed with crushing riffs, soaring choruses, and a massive breakdown, it’s both a headbanger and a sharp critique of ignorance — fusing humor with sociopolitical commentary into one relentless anthem.

DEMONIZED

Lyrics 

I dream of you in silence, every day and night
Through the black and through the gray, you’re my only light
Moonlight bleeding silver, shadows in the room
I reach for you but feel the cold consume


Your voice in the dark, it cuts like a knife
Your eyes are the fire that’s keeping me alive


Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m burning for you
Let me hear you whisper, that you feel it too
Keep the fire glowing, in your eyes so true
Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m chained to you


Longing grows inside me, I can’t break away
Your smile is the poison I need every day
The world is bleeding roses, birds fall from the sky
But only you can kill the fear inside


Your voice in the dark, it cuts like a knife
Your eyes are the fire that’s keeping me alive


Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m burning for you
Let me hear you whisper, that you feel it too
Keep the fire glowing, in your eyes so true
Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m chained to you


 I’m lost inside this dream of you…
 No escape — I’ll see it through!


Sweetheart! My blood, my chains!
Sweetheart! It’s in my veins!
Sweetheart! No turning back!
Sweetheart! The sky turns black!


Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m burning for you
Let me hear you whisper, that you feel it too
Keep the fire glowing, in your eyes so true
Let me call you Sweetheart, I’m chained to you


Sweetheart… Sweetheart…
I’m chained… to you…

The Hell He Made

Going back to my roots as an ‘80s metal live performer, I’ve taken my original synthwave tracks and turned them into full 80s METAL versions!

Till The End

A heavy hybrid rock/metal track with male vocals, down-tuned guitars, glitch-metal bass, and industrial cinematic intensity. Dark, explosive, and spiritually charged; built around karmic justice, ego self-destruction, and the power of walking away. Aggressive riffs, massive choruses, glitch FX, and a brutal breakdown. This track embodies psychological clarity, cosmic force, and the mantra: protect your inner peace at all costs.

Karmic Crackdown (Collapse Mix)

No excuses. No bullshit.
If you offer any form of narrative that doesn't condemn the UK child grooming gangs you are part of the problem.
They were kids man. Fucking, children!
Preyed up on and used by evil, cruel, sadistic adults.
Its not a race thing. This is a cultural divide of what certain ignorant people think is their "right" to do!
Even when it is brought to light, the powers that be tried to cover it up, subdue the extent and divert attention away from the fact that British children are being abused and it is covered up.
But I suppose it doesn't look good for the establishment when UK Police officers are complicit and undertake in the abuse too (proven - check for yourselves) .
The sheer neglect of care towards those children from social services, community leaders, police, news broadcasting outlets and the British Government is disgusting and alarming.


Silenced

Project 66 is the sound of defiance forged in steel, fire, and truth.
Created by Jeff R. Young (aka - wickedwisdom66), a storm-chasing armed guard turned storyteller and digital artist, Project 66 blends the haunting atmosphere of gothic metal, the grit of outlaw rock, and the industrial pulse of modern cyber metal.
Each song is a collision of beauty and brutality, a sermon for those who’ve fought their own wars and walked away, scarred but standing. Project 66 tells stories carved in dust, faith, and defiance.
The project moves fluidly between worlds: country grit, gothic shadow, metal aggression, and industrial precision, but the heartbeat never changes. It’s about survival. It’s about redemption. It’s about turning pain into power and volume into confession.
Project 66 isn’t just music. It’s an attitude, a voice for those who still believe in the fight.
